Thoughts and prayers to the Ritchie family. I loved him and new he was a horseman-I could tell when he was around the horses on the set. Will always remember him-a true gift to the acting world and I am positive to his family as well. God Bless.

I was very sad to learn of Clint’s passing. And then today I read that Phil Carey passed away Friday. How very sad. The Buchanan men on OLTL coming to Llanview way back when was one of the best storylines. They will both be missed.
